Utah and Idaho Locals Team Up for Guide Dogs of America

Salt Lake City, UT IAM Local 568 teamed up with Blackfoot, ID Local 2006 recently and held their 9th annual car show raising $10,500 for Guide Dogs of America. More than 70 cars came out to Stansbury Park, Utah to show their support at the Stansbury Days Guide Dogs of America Car Show.

“This is the best show yet as far as raising money for the GDA,” said IAM Grand Lodge Representative Mike Wardle. “Many thanks to Local 568 President, Andy Allen, for his hard work and support, along with all of the volunteers from Local 568, and all of the Car Guys/Gals that pitched in to help make this event a success.”

“I would like to thank Mike and Glenna Wardle for their continued hard work to make this car show a success year after year,” said Western General Territory Vice President Gary Allen. “The generosity of Local 568, 2006 and the local community is astounding.”

Thirty-three awards were presented along with raffle prize and auction items provided through tremendous support from the community.

Guide Dogs of America, located in Sylmar, CA, provides guide dogs and instruction in their use, free of charge, to blind and visually impaired men and women from the United States and Canada.
